I have just got back from watching The Avengers in the Cinema I have booked my 1st Prometheus vewing on 2nd June ( 1st June Sold Out ) An hour into the film, just when the plot was building and the characters were bouncing off each other ( Loki locked in a glass cage part ) the Cinema had a power cut! We left in the dark and somewhat disgruntled, however I could only think what if this happened in Prometheus! All was thinking is what i would do, cry at first, then drive from town to town like a mad man looking for a cinema with a spare seat! What would you do if this nightmarish disater happened on your first veiwing?

@ klaatu lmfao & then we will proceed to hack into 'mother' and restart the movie. In reality, I'd burst into tears and start a riot.

I have had this happen once before, at a Harry Potter screening. I flipped my shit so bad. If it were to happen during Prometheus, I would lose it entirely.

Take a Newt look alike with you.....Seek out the cinema manager and say...."Why don't you put her in charge?". Their reply would be "You have my sympathies" AAAAAARRRGGHH...Rage warning ahead. Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

You know, I have no idea what I would do. I have never thought of it. Thanks for bringing up the idea. Crap, hope it doesn't happen to anyone. Last year my wife and I were at the drive-in, and like in some commercials, or movies, the film actually melted from the bulb during the previews. LOL, it was like, did this actually flippin happen? I thought it was part of the preview or a joke. It was really funny though. Everyone was looking at each other saying what the hell? LOL.

Rainchecks/refunds are common practice for these type of occurrences. It has happened to me at least once in all my movie-going years. There should have been an announcement after the lights went up and vouchers being handed out as you exit good for another showing. On another note. Seen the movie. You didn't miss much. ; ) If this happens during my IMAX 3D Prometheus viewing (6 tickets = $108), I would be unrestrainable. They'd need to call in the men in white to haul me off. ; )

I have never been to a VUE showing, however I used to go to a couple of showing at the former Warner Village cinemas before VUE's acquistion. As for the power-cut at the cinema, the last time I experienced it was in the late 1970s, LOL. I shall be at BFI IMAX and it should not be a problem wrt power supply.
